MCPXXL, member of the 3DE-Project team, has released this Project in the BIS Forums.
MAP_3DE The heart of it, of course, is the 3D editor by Silola
MAP_EU The editorupgrade by Lester that also makes the Queens Gambit Objects available and adds some completely new objects. It is designed especially for the 3DE. Required: - ArmA V1.14 - Queens Gambit - MAP_Services V1.10
MAP_3DEMAP A completely new island that has been designed with the 3DE by Sgt. Ace and MCPXXL. The whole 3DE project team did help with designing nice and playable locations. It's worth stating that none of the team has any experience with visitor nor island editing with the exception of Sgt.Ace who just made an empty island with textures for that purpose. All objects were placed with the 3DE, of course. Required: - ArmA V1.14 - Queens Gambit - MAP_EU Editorupdate - MAP_Services
DAC-Sectorfight MP-Mission At first just planned as a demo this island did develop pretty well. So we ported an almost forgotten DAC mission by Silola to the new island to have some fun after all the work on our project. This DAC sectorfight mission is included in the download package as well. As one can tell by the server frames the island's performance is very fine and the mission runs smoothly. Saying all this we are very proud of the outcome of this project. It is best played with mapfact addons + ECS.
Here is the release of the FNC K-1 Pack. Read the readme and all will be well in the world Also if anyone is interested in some small time config work drop me a line. It is only small and simple stuff if you have experience with weapon creation. Enjoy.

This addon provides you with 4 new AH-1Z SuperCobras, each of these are equipped with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles on the wingtips, engine startup sounds and a basic flare / missile spoofing script based on an older version done by BAS for Operation Flashpoint back in 2004.
Features included: - 4 versions of the AH-1Z including the original USMC low vis grey version, NATO/ROW Olive drab, the Sentinel 3 tone low vis grey custom skin and a RACS version in desert beige/mustard. - Each AH-1Z is armed with all the original weapons from the stock version of the game, plus a pair of AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles on the outermost pylons. - New engine sound effects and warnings. - Slightly reduced the chance of complete engine failure and increased the chance of damage to the control surfaces. - A very basic simulation of the AN/AAR-47 Missile Approach Warning System, plus flare countermeasures. - A much more robust flight model based on the fine work done by Heinbloed.
Edit :I've updated the AH-1Z pack to version 1.01
Only a few changes made, including a slight tweak to the config file so that it uses the Extended Eventhandlers - making it compatible with a lot of the newer 3rd party mods in circulation, plus a minor adjustment to the insidesoundcoef to make things louder for all those people using the HiFi sound mod.

Frontschwein has informed us about new developments about Armed Assault 2. First of all the website gamespy.com has announced that the english version of ArmA2 will be published by 505 Games (like ArmA 1) and the release date is set to the 1st Quarter 2009. 505 games will be publishing ArmA II in Europe, excluding Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
KEY FEATURES of ArmA2
-A whole new chapter in the ArmA franchise with new characters and an in-depth story -Unlike most war simulations, ArmA II focuses on team play - including co-operative play, the ability to switch between team members and dramatic moments when you must give first aid to team mates -Improved AI for team mates and enemies, now they use cover, hide and work better as a unit -Dynamic conversations and events that shape the storyline -Incredibly realistic game engine that's been used by the military for combat simulations -Comprehensive online multiplayer modes -An extremely strong modding community among the ArmA II fans
In the german speaking regions the game will be published by Peter Games (former Morphicon). Our newsposter Bence stumbled upon the shop of the HMH Hamburger Medien Haus (HMH is a partner of Peter Games) in which the German release date is set to the 16.10.2008.
All of these informations should not be taken for granted as BIS have not yet released an official release date.
